Rep. Liz Cheney doubled down on her denunciation of former President Donald Trump over his peddling of claims that the 2020 election was illegitimate, sounding the alarm that there could be a future"effort to steal a presidential election" in a recent op-ed.
"Evidence has demonstrated Mr. Trump was fully informed that his plans to overturn the election were illegal," Cheney declared in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal."Mr. Trump continues to make intentionally false election-fraud allegations, claiming that he should be reinstalled as president.
She has drawn ire from her fellow Republicans for her becoming the vice chairwoman of the Jan. 6 committee and one of Trump's most vocal adversaries in Congress. Now, she is calling for action, such as tinkering with the Electoral Count Act and other laws that Trump sought to exploit. Third, she wants to enable presidential contenders to sue states to"ensure that Congress receives the state’s lawful certificate" to stave off the prospect of governors stymieing"lawful results from being transmitted." And lastly, she wants it clarified in federal law that"rules governing an election can’t change after the election has occurred."
